Today I would like to remind everyone that if you have been putting off your annual mammogram, you should call your doctor and schedule one before the end of the year sneaks up on you.
We both know that it isn't that bad. It might be a pain in the butt to schedule and it isn't the most comfortable test but catching breast cancer early is something you will not regret! The 5-year survival rate for women diagnosed with breast cancer can be as high as 98% for localized disease if detected early.
Today I had my annual mammogram. I believe that it is mammogram number 10 for me. My punch card is full now. I wonder if the next one is free? LOL. They did offer me flowers though. This is also the first time that I have gone by myself. I didn't even stay up all night worrying about the outcome. That is a big step for me.
I am overcoming my fears and you should too! Just get it over with.
xoxo,
Alissa
